Shearing recommendation
« on: June 12, 2011, 12:35:45 pm »
We've just had Philip Fisher (Singing Shearer) shear our sheep.

Firstly, what nice people  :) But much more importantly, he did a wonderful job with our sheep. Not a nick on them, very tidy and so calm and good with the sheep. I don't think we've ever had a less stressful shearing  ;D Can't recommend him highly enough  :sheep:

Philip has just sheared my angora goat and he's done a brilliant job. It was the most stress free shearing we've ever had and considering William the goat isn't always pleasant at shearing, with Phil he was putty in his hands.
Lovely people and wonderful with the animals. Thank you very much Philip.

Reading your posts I'm having visions of topiary sheep .... now there's a business opportunity  :farmer:
registered soay, castlemilk moorit  and north ronaldsay sheep, pygmy goats, steinbacher geese, muscovy ducks, various hens, lots of visiting mallards, a naughty border collie, a puss and a couple of guinea pigs

Thank you both very much, it was nice meeting you both and although the weather didn't quite hold out all day everything seemed to work out.

Jaykay,

It was so nice to shear some real sheep for once, hope you get on with the fleece.

Lilly54,

It was a pleasure to meet William, hope he isn't too cold tonight.

Thanks,
Philip :sheep: :goat:

I need to get some rest - I read that as "Philip has just sheared my angora coat......"

 :D

Always have been, always will be, a WYSIWYG - black is black, white is white - no grey in my life! But I'm mellowing in my old age

Comments in the pub last night, 'who sheared your sheep', so we told them and the general consensus from the farmers was that they'd not seen such well-sheared sheep in a long tme. 

We are passing your number around Philip  :)

Thanks Jay,

It's very kind of you to pass my number on. I'm glad the local farmers like the way the sheep look although a lot of it was down to the sheep being good in the first place.

Thanks,
Philip  :sheep:
